Updated Food Sale and Giveaways page
To create greater clarity on food sales and giveaways as they relate to the University Food Policy, we have updated what was previously known as the “Bake Sale Policy.” The new Food Sales and Giveaways policy clarifies the requirements and/or restrictions for food distribution for fundraising or promotional purposes. This includes the requirement that baked goods or other cottage food items must meet the requirements of Michigan’s Cottage Food Law, including proper packaging and labeling.
Winter Involvement Fair Registration
The Winter Involvement Fair is a chance for RSOs to display information about their group and recruit new members. This year, our Winter Involvement Fair will be on January 8th from 12pm-3pm in the MUB. We have limited space so sign ups are first-come first-served. You can sign up here. The registration deadline is midnight on December 17th.
The fair will also feature a retro video game challenge hosted by MUB staff, a DIY dried soup mix teaching kitchen with Husky Eats, and 20% off coupon to the Campus Store.
RSO Council Feedback
We are looking for your feedback on the council meetings we had this semester. If you represented your RSO at a council meeting, please fill out the form. If your RSO did not attend a council meeting, we would still like your input and encourage you to fill out the form. The input will help us improve the council meetings and make them more valuable to your RSO.
